Le Chuck:

--- Quote from: claremont on October 11, 2012, 05:44:37 pm ---I was widowed at the age of 30. From first hand experience I can tell you that having things that keep you busy are very valuable. And I dont mean spending more time with  your child (as negative as that sounds). In my experience I needed mindless, time consuming, complete distraction.

If he has the capability, BUILDING a cab will likely be a good distraction from his dark reality right now. Giving him a completed cab? Pribably not so much.

Want some insight as to what he is going through, read the diary I wrote during my wife's last days. It is an eye opener into the reality of widowhood.

Dude, there is a right and a wrong way to plug your book, no matter how germain it may be.  Good luck with your sales.
claremont:
Hey Le Chuck, I am sure you are not that naive. If you think I am punping sales at a profit of 12 cents per book you are, shall we say, mistaken. I am willing to bet that a minuscule number of people reading this thread have any idea what this guy is going through. I do. If I am promoting anything it is awareness.

Then send him a free copy.
claremont:
My point was, if you want to HELP, then TRY TO UNDERSTAND. That was the most frustrating part of being widowed for me. The fact that people wanted to help, but very few made the effort to understand what I was going through. And of course, I dont blame them. Writing a check is easy, but impersonal. Widow(er)s dont want your money. They dont want your sympathy. They desperately want someone to understand what the hell they are going through, at a time when not even THEY understand.

So if you think my post had ulterior motives, or was poorly placed then you have no idea where I am coming from, and that is OK, but dont dare consider this a spam post. Unless you have been there and done that, you have no idea.

Send him a copy? I will do one better. Every penny from every sale for the next thirty days goes stright to his fund. The only reason the book is 99 cents is because I cant price it any lower per amazon rules.
